Plastiki...

is being costructed by David de Rothschild who will be setting sail this summer from San Francisco to Sydney. Plastiki is a 60 ft. boat made from used 2 liter plastic bottles and other recycled materials. He is removing garbage from the ocean and turning it into a reusable and functioning form of transporation, hoping to bring more awareness to waste.

New Soap, Old Bottle...

This is such a fantastic idea! They buy used bottles, clean & sanitize them and then repackage with a variety of name brand soaps & cleaners. Great use of materials, innovation and effort to help clean up our environment. Try them out:
